The
Estate Project was a huge endeavor and its website is well worthy of
an extended visit. One of the missions of The Estate Project is to preserve
the cultural legacy of the AIDS crisis, and in that regard there are
ongoing projects to compile an index of composers and musicians who
have died of AIDS. A subproject is to compile a listing of Musical
Works Addressing AIDS, which is divided into classical, popular,
and music theater works. As I have an extensive collection of popular,
and some theatre, recordings, I was asked to research my collection
for song titles that are relevant. Searching the wide world of popular
music for any particular subject is difficult, as things are just not
organized in that manner. But I was able to prepare the listing below,
which I am glad to share with those internet surfers interested. There
could be no "complete" listing of songs addressing AIDS, and
this is not one either, but it's a step.

Unfortunately, the former link to this project is gone but I am leaving
this description of it in case researchers are able to know to search
for it if it is restored.

I
apologize for the wide layout of the listings, but it seemed more readable
than splitting the data
onto a second line. And I placed the data of most interest within normal
screen widths.
